Jabby 1,042 Posted January 8, 2018 So thats what happened to the thread about the rebel minis. Shame. I was enjoying that argument. Nothing better than amd endless debate against a cretin. Mental stimulation that was 1 devin.pike.1989 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAYASAN 850 Posted January 8, 2018 Is this the same OP that slaughtered the Rebel Troopers? I read that post a week ago and was horrified at how terrible the figures sounded. I admit I hadnt really looked at the figures much and went quickly looking to see these abominations....cancel pre order button at the ready!! Found pics of em and thought they looked pretty good tbh 7 srMontresor, Undeadguy, Sk3tch and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninclouse2000 1,051 Posted January 8, 2018 The miniatures looks good enough for me. Some of the hobbyists are just way too picky. They could use cardboard for the miniatures and I’d still play this game because the rules are great. It shouldn’t matter to anyone what poses the minis are in. The mechanics of the pieces are what matter so I’m more concerned with the cards and rules. 5 Jabby, Undeadguy, Megatronrex and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sk3tch 571 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rumar said: I have yet to see arguments, why the ameliorations the OP proposed would fail to make Legion better. Because most people realise the damage is done so would rather move on. It seems that a lot of the people here want decent rules more than realistic miniatures. The minis could be better, sure. The minis are already a load better than IA, so I'm happy with that as a bare minimum. The Minis will likely get better over time (IA and X-Wing both show improvements as time goes on) and as people say, the Snowtroopers already look better pose wise. Some of the people heavily invested in the look of the minis will likely provide tutorials on how to mod them.

We have some absolutely fantastic minis coming our way. The poses are great, the detail is fantastic and the prices are reasonable. As ffg continues to publish expansions they will get even better. Whining about a game that isn't even in the hands of the consumer yet is childish and speaks to a sad sense of entitlement. You don't have to buy the game and you don't have to take a dump on other people's fun. 7 srMontresor, ninclouse2000, Zeelobby and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to complain about the mileage of a car that I haven't bought. I'm not going to complain about the ending of a book I have not read. I am not going to trash a restaurant I have never eaten at. This is not a Kickstarter where you bought into something without knowing how it would end up. This game has been very clearly advertised to be what it is. If you don't like it take your dollars elsewhere. There was recently a game released in my absolute favorite sci fi universe: the expanse. The components for the game were not to my liking. They were cardboard tokens and wooden cubes and the card art was tv show stills instead of original art. I did not buy the game and I moved on with my life. I did not whine like a child that the publishers of the game did not tailor it to my exact desires. Children whine. Adults move on.

wintermoonwolf 145 Posted January 10, 2018 ....lol....no..... ....an adult does not "call them out".... an adult provides a thoughtful argument; where if they are persuasive then people will listen; and if not persuasive, people will not listen (nor respond).... ...sometimes a method to react to a poor topic; is to simply not listen (nor respond) and allow the topic to die on the vine...(unless you have an argument to sway the mob without turning to childish manners)... ...but I am moving on to the topic; it would be enjoyable to see STORMIES in the posses of the little green army men of yore!!!.....that would be wunderbar!....vielen dank.... 1 bigbake132 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunNut 91 Posted January 10, 2018 Also you don't have free speech here, strictly speaking. As these boards are the property of FFG, FFG may set and enforce such rules on speech as they deem necessary, by what means they so choose. Example, the swear filter.

devin.pike.1989 1,546 Posted January 10, 2018 The op made no argument. He simply whined about a company not meeting his own specific desires and told people to spend their dollars elsewhere. You know what would be the best way to see more stormtrooper poses? Support the game and community and give ffg incentive to publish more product. 4 Megatronrex, OldSchoolEmpire, Timinater and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devin.pike.1989 1,546 Posted January 10, 2018 Not an argument. Simply several statements of opinion. In any case, this thread needs to die like the other one. It is pointless and has generated no useful discussion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel sorry for people who are so picky they can't enjoy whats in front of them. Pretty sure someone at FFG is aware that maybe two people didn't like the sculpt.
